WHO WE ARE
The International NeoRetroism Institute is a nonprofit organization working to build contemporary villages where people have diverse choices for how they live, work, and get around. We believe that environments that foster community growth and the transfer of wisdom are crucial for our health, economy, and environment.
As Americans both young and old are demanding walkable lifestyles, the market for unique and green places is growing in every region. NeoRetroism's members are architects, urban designers, engineers, planners, developers, historic preservationists, bankers, small business people, health professionals, government officials, and everyday citizens who care about our communities. We all share the same goals: steering cities and towns away from sprawling development, building more beautiful and sustainable places, preserving historic assets and traditions, and providing a range of housing and transportation choices. Join NeoRetroism today and help build places people love.
The International NeoRetroism Institute is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization based in Dallas, Texas.
WHAT WE DO
The process of building just one plaza—let alone a village—is complex. Federal, state, and local rules dictate much of where and what can be built. Dozens of requirements for zoning, financing, building codes, infrastructure—to name a few—impose significant barriers to creating the type of vibrant and diverse places people want. The International NeoRetroism Institute connects and educated people on how to incorporate historically accurate development principals in a modern day environment.

It is a true community, perfectly balancing the needs and wants of it’s inhabitants.
